INTA Roundtable in Kosovo

December 28, 2012

On December 14, 2012, SDP KOSOVE organized an INTA roundtable in Kosovo, on the topic of protection and enforcement of well-known marks. This was the first event ever organized in Kosovo on this topic. Given the ambiguous provisions of the well-known marks law in Kosovo and the lack of court practice this event was very welcomed by the attendees.

A total of 32 people from Kosovo, Macedonia and Albania attended the roundtable, including judges, attorneys, students, patent and trademark agents and representatives from the PTO, Copyright Office, the Customs and the Kosovo Police.

The speakers included Ms. Kujtesa Nezaj-Shehu, director of SDP KOSOVE, Ms. Suzana Sejdiu, president of the District Commercial Court of Prishtina, and Mr. Ignacio Lazaro, attorney-at-law. The moderators of the roundtable were Ms. Nezaj-Shehu and Ms. Nora Makolli, associate and trademark and patent agent at SDP KOSOVE.
